Why does one Warp "hello world" example work when another doesn't?


Both of the following "hello world" samples build successfully, but only the first results in a page that says "Hello World"; the second one gives me an error about the page not being found. The Cargo.toml file is the same for both. I'm accessing the IP 127.0.0.1:3030.

I tried accessing the second one using curl, but it returned nothing and went back to the prompt. The browser I used for the successful first one is Microsoft Edge 84.

Why doesn't the second one work?

First one

#![deny(warnings)]
use warp::Filter;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    // Match any request and return hello world!
    let routes = warp::any().map(|| "Hello, World!");

    warp::serve(routes).run(([127, 0, 0, 1], 3030)).await;

Second one

use warp::Filter;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    // GET /hello/warp => 200 OK with body "Hello, warp!"
    let hello = warp::path!("hello" / String)
        .map(|name| format!("Hello, {}!", name));

    warp::serve(hello)
        .run(([127, 0, 0, 1], 3030))
        .await;
}

Cargo.toml

[package]
name = "warptest"
version = "0.1.0"
authors = ["user"]
edition = "2018"

# See more keys and their definitions at https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html


[dependencies]

tokio = { version = "0.2", features = ["full"] }
warp = "0.2"

Solution

  • The second example only responds to requests at the path /hello/string-argument. It is not configured to respond to the root path /:
